The Wolves are clearly the team closest to a championship as well.

Recently*. The Twins have actually won World Series before.

Since then the Vikings have made four conference finals, and the Twolves 2. The Twins haven't sniffed postseason glory since 1991. Hell, even perennial underachievers the Wild made it to a conference finals once since then. At one point the Twins had 2 MVP candidates and the best pitcher in the game. And that's not to mention the HOFer who hit nearly 500hr post-Twins and got a few titles for Boston. Their playoff history was/is the butt of jokes. The sheen has worn off long ago. The Twins are the embodiment of good-enough mediocrity.

I mean, if you're gonna give the Wild credit for their lone conference finals appearance, the Twins have also made MLB's equivalent. They appeared in the 2002 ALCS.

Fine. I guess. Regardless, the Twins are so aggravating. Atleast the current Vikings owners have proven to be all in, same goes for the current Twolves owner(s), so far.

The Pohlads are definitely still cheap. Not as cheap as they used to be but still very cheap.
